There were lots of people coughing and such everywhere I went. Burger brainworms plus fancy-rona having a field day it seems.

      CDC isn’t pushing them and randos who try to educate on COVID get stuffed by algos. Maybe it’s time to bring back pamphlets. Do you think Jack Chick might be willing to make a few COVID comics?

      I honestly don’t know. I assume it’s ignorance, they don’t know how ineffective the surgical masks are. But I see people chin diapering, too, so I really just don’t know. The general public is as distant from me as I am from Sag A. I honestly have no idea at all what normal people think is happening.

      Also, faint line on my rapid test today. Still +pos+

      I wonder if the latest strains are, idk, more virulent, or something. A number of people who are very diligent about masking and precautions have caught it while travelling, mostly from family. : p

      Or I guess maybe we’re just getting sloppy five years in. I think that’s what got me. I’m going to be more insistent that any restaurant meal must be outside or I won’t be eating.
